Shiritori Tee Shirts
There's a game in Japanese called "shiritori." You start with a word, and the challenge is to use the last character in that word to create a new word as long as possible. Shiritori literally means "end" and "take." But for the sake of the logo and comedy, I used alternate translations. Shiri can also mean "butt" and tori can also mean "bird." Different kanji, of course, but I'm not working with kanji. Homophones are good for wordplay! Working with that idea, I smooshed a bunch of Japanese words together and drew pictures of the combined image. (If this looks blank, click where the image should be.) We chose Spreadshirt as our print-on-demand tee shirt manufacturer and our friends volunteered to model for us, so we ordered a bunch of shirts and had a photo shoot in a handful of locations around Tokyo. We used some of those photos on the website we designed. Home page Design gallery with sidebar ...
